Experts warn that not wearing a bra during lockdown could cause breasts to sag - warn experts!

[stumbledin]

Yes - at a time of global crisis the DM has decided this is an important issue that women should be made aware of.

Not sure if it is response to this www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/benefits-of-not-wearing-bra_ca_5e7bca84c5b6cb9dc1999297

Thank god the DM is there to provide important public health information such as this. Would be lost without it.

As far as I’m concerned, the silver lining of this pandemic is the chance to spend days, or even weeks, in elastic waists and no bra.

I've a good mind to never wear one again. What would they do if we all just stopped wearing them out.

I’m loving spending time in my joggers or leggings and tunics. I don’t know how I’m going to cope with structured workwear if this keeps up.

In all honesty, I'm still wearing the same pull on sports bra I wear all the time anyway, but I am still working. Although I am getting up in the morning and not bothering to coif my barnet because I wear a hat all day.

Bloody disgraceful, really. Serving the public with flat hair and droopy boobs. Civilization's collapse on my shoulders, I'm afraid.

You know you reach an age where they sag. Every woman's does unless she has surgery.

Mine comes off as soon as I'm home usually. I'm in my 50s and think they look OK. Even if someone showed me a clinical trial proving this I'd still go for comfort.

Backinthebox that's given me an idea.....using bras for face masks when venturing outdoors....

Surprised it took so long TBH.

MaytheGods please don't forget naked of nail.

I've been getting several FB ads a day for innovative nail: long nails, sparkly gloob for nails, fajd nails, all kinds. I don't know how this started as I've never cared about nails.
Normally I just report unwanted ads as spam, but this time I've commented each time before reporting, as they usually have hunderds of enthusiastic commenters.

I comment that this is not a time for vanity and to keep your nails short, as short as possible, as long nails prevent a thorough washing of hands, and long nails make it more possible for the virus to sneak in there. Sometimes I add that the nails in the ad look absolutely horrible!

Got to do my bit for womankind.

Thank you to all who have commented so far! I've actually managed to laugh after what seems quite a time of being tense and worried.

So glad I posted the link even knowing that the DM is bound to pump out nonsense.

They seem to take the fact that more women read their stupid paper as the right to make sure women stay in the place assigned to them by men!

The "experts" can go fuck themselves!

I haven't worn one since the 20th and won't be putting one on until I'm back at work in a week or two.

It does hurt when I run, but that was an easy fix. I stopped running

I haven't worn a bra for nearly 47 years. No saggage here!

Great thread

Well at least we just have self appointed "experts". In Malaysia women have the government telling women how to behave during isolation eg wear make up! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/coronavirus-malaysia-outrage-women-ministry-makeup-lockdown-a9437851.html

Total myth. My mother told me that one but I haven't worn a bra in over forty years and my breasts have never been any saggier than those of women that do wear bras.

I've always found no bra really uncomfortable- even when I was a 32A. I also don't like the absence of a layer under a dress or a blouse. It makes me feel cold so I'd have to wear a vest if I didn't wear a bra.

Not sure what is so difficult about finding a comfortable bra.

As for working at home- I put on foundation and a little lipstick same as I would for the office. I'm not wearing formal work wear but what I do wear is still smart enough to be seen by a client or get into a restaurant with a smart dress code (not that there are any coming to the house or me going to restaurants)

I hate being a slob or scruffy. This has nothing to with the "male gaze" . It's my gaze. Wearing joggers, stuff with elastic waists etc. etc would make me miserable. I'm serious about that - I'd find it depressing. The only time I could imagine dressing like that would be if I were really ill.

There's a facebook group called 'Putting out the bins in your ballgown' or something, full of lots of people who have made a significant effort in these unusual times. Was on the BBC news the other day. All good fun.

Dido, it's perfectly possible to not be scruffy whilst going braless. I've never worn a bra in my life, my mother wasn't really one for taking me and my sisters out to buy bras (I don't know why, I think she found puberty very difficult to speak about, she was from a rather repressed Catholic background), so I never had one as a teenager.

And as I grew older it never really crossed my mind to buy one, I wasn't over-endowed so the lack of one never impeded me in any way.

Here I am at nearly 47, I do own a few bras, I spent quite a lot of money on them a couple of years ago (properly measured, I'm a 34D), I don't even know why I did it, I only wore them a few times, they weren't uncomfortable, but I just felt constrained, so they languish in a drawer. I dress very smartly and certainly don't look like a scruffy slob.

Well shit. That’s me done for I guess! Not worn a proper bra for about three years, much less one with wires in. Good job rally because my tits are ow so saggy that I can use them to cover my eyes when I accidentally happen across trash articles like that. Hey turns out it’s not all bad!

Absolute nonsense, I only wear a bra when I go out, so spend a lot of time without one on and my boobs aren’t saggy at all (I’m a 32F so not tiny either). I think it’s all down to genetics tbh and nothing to do with wearing bras or not.

That advice has come too late for me.
I was wearing a leather bra recently and my boyfriend thought it was a new pair of shoes.

It's so kind of the DM to spend all that time thinking and writing about other people's breasts.

We really wouldn't know how to have breasts at all without their helpful instructions.

@DidoLamenting
You have your standards, other women have theirs. No big deal, wear a bra or don't wear a bra.
I quite like being without a bra but if I have to meet or see people I'll always wear one. That's because I have always had breasts that point downwards not up.
I could keep the contents of a pencil case under my breasts. Including the box.

This song immediately sprang to mind. 😁
